6年级的米兰达和她好的朋友萨尔,他们知道如何在纽约市中游荡。他们知道哪儿是安全的,比如当地的杂货店,他们也知道哪儿是危险的,要避开,比如角落里的那个疯子。 但是,事情开始发生变化了。一天,萨尔在街角不知何故被一个孩子打了,从此以后,萨尔就拒绝米兰达再出现在他的生活中。米兰达妈妈公寓的紧急备用钥匙被偷,一个神秘的纸条随之而来,上面写着: 我来拯救你朋友的生命,和我自己的。 我要你帮两个忙。:你必须给我写一封信。 纸不断地来,米兰达慢慢意识到留这张纸条的人一定知道一个不为人知的秘密。她越来越相信只有她能避免悲剧的死亡。直到后一个纸条,她才觉得她太迟了。 这部伟大的小说发生在真实的世界里,但是却在心底保留着一个神奇的谜题。《当你到达我》是一个原创的、夺目的、和深刻的作品。
